Best Vegetarian Restaurant St. Louis 2009 - Gokul Snacks & Sweets

Vegetarian restaurant: Why, after all these years, can the phrase continue to conjure such unappetizing images of bland food? Break that cycle with the delightful Indian buffet and takeout at Gokul, where the main ingredients are love and butter. So much butter. What highlights the perfect textural contrasts in the food here, from the snapping cashews and smooth, dense root vegetables in velvety navratan korma to the fluffy, oven-browned naan? Butter. What makes the bright tomato base of muttar paneer rich enough to complement the fat green peas and generous cubes of cheese? Butter. For those who seek a purer love, Gokul offers a vegan dinner buffet on the first Monday of every month.
